Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-capacity cruiser is well suited to beginners and riders who want a relaxed, non-intimidating introduction to motorcycling.
PurposeIt's designed as a stylish, low-key cruiser for casual street riding and short commutes rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 710mm seat height and cruiser-style ergonomics make it accessible to shorter riders and those wanting an easy, low-effort riding position.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, classic cruiser personality with V-twin character at a small, approachable scale rather than raw power.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking high speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.

2016 Hyosung GV125C Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Hyosung GV125C, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
